    Can confirm “the limit is the limit” 🤷‍♂️ works WAY better than “because I said so.”

      It definitely does. Don’t use Apple products, but setting limits or bedtime alarms (on the switch) helps us all out. It cut down on the tantrums about stopping, it gives them the routine they need (we’re all on the ADHD spectrum in this house), and I set it up and it’s done (I have practically nil executive function).

      Is it perfect? No. But it works for us.
